Welcome To Ostomy Tasmania

Ostomy Tasmania is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the rehabilitation and continuing well-being of people of all ages who have undergone surgery resulting in a stoma (colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy).

Ostomy Tasmania is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the rehabilitation and continuing well-being of people of all ages who have undergone surgery resulting in a stoma (colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy). Like similar associations across Australia, Ostomy Tasmania purchases and distributes stoma appliances and related pharmaceutical products to members of our organisation. These products are available free to members through their local association, in accordance with the guidelines set by the Federal Government’s Stoma Appliance Scheme.

Donations assist us to maintain our service to ostomates. Many of our office workers are volunteers, thus helping to keep our costs to a minimum for members, however our expenses continue to rise over time, so any financial assistance - by way of donations - is gratefully received, even if it's only a few dollars. To make a donation click the link, and enter your credit card details via the secure payment gateway (transaction receipt will follow). Remember donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Thank you for your support!
